Abstract

See full text

A method for determining the state of a brushless motor having first, second and third phases, in some embodiments, comprises: decoupling said motor from a power source; determining whether said motor is rotating or non-rotating; if the motor is rotating, determining a first phase voltage state relative to a common voltage and a second phase voltage state relative to the common voltage, said first phase and second phase voltage states determined when a third phase voltage is within a predetermined range of said common voltage; and if the first phase voltage state and the second phase voltage state are the same, repeating said determination as to whether the motor is rotating or non-rotating.
